To determine if 8116 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 8116.
If the factors of 8116 are only 8116 and 1, then we know that 8116 is a prime number. Otherwise, 8116 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 8116 is only divisible by 1 and 8116, then it is a prime number, and if 8116 is divisible by more than 8116 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 8116 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 2029, 4058, 8116
Therefore, since 8116 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
